Reader feedback for 1/30

•Ann, Hampton: I'm calling in reference to your headline, Langley Buffer Zone costs Hampton $3 million. Your writer's byline, I do not recognize the name, but I ask, in your picture on the front, your demographic of the map, you give a color code identification but do not list anywhere that I can find in the newspaper what the numerical numbers indicate in terms of the property. Your map also appears to be outdated and not totally accurate. I have been a resident of Hampton for more than 70 years. Please, please correct for reader information.

Editor: Reporter Robert Brauchle has covered issues involving Hampton since December 2011. The numbers on those properties list the 23 properties the city is interested in purchasing to complete a Langley clear zone. The map was provided by the city of Hampton the day prior to publication. It's the most up-to-date map available of the city's progress toward creating that clear zone.

Privacy violation?

•Guido, Smithfield: This is about your news judgment. I'm irritated that you published the address of the alleged robber of the bank in Hampton who was arrested on Friday. I think it's unconscionable to release the address or the block where the alleged robber lives, thereby perhaps putting the neighborhood in danger. Bad judgment, a violation of privacy, and I don't know what else I can say.

Editor: I am not certain how it puts the neighborhood in danger by reporting where someone who is arrested lives. We have been known to consider information on crime victims, but not on someone who has been arrested. It's our job to inform readers and in doing so we report fairly and accurately the information provided by the police concerning those charged with crimes including the block of residence.
